4	->''"When kissed for the first time, a girl should close her eyes. The second time, she should give an ecstatic back kick, clutching her sweetheart by his coat lapels."''
5	-->-- "An Outline of Motion Picture Etiquette", [[http://www.archive.org/details/ScreenlandOct.1923 October 1923]] issue of ''Screenland''

7	Traditionally, when a woman and a man kiss, the woman tends to lift one leg to show just how hot and heavy it's getting, or to demonstrate how much she trusts the man to hold her up.
8
9	A somewhat DiscreditedTrope nowadays, which mostly crops up in parody (although the alert viewer will still sometimes see it played straight, mainly in romantic comedies), as often a man will do this to [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide emphasize his effeminate side]], or both people [[RuleOfFunny will do it at once]]. The TropeNamer is the film version of ''Film/ThePrincessDiaries''.
10
11	Though the trope originated earlier, one of UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode's dumber demands required that women, in love scenes, at all times have [[ExactWords "at least one foot on the floor"]] (in other words, no love scenes in bed). It may even be an example of GettingCrapPastTheRadar, suggesting as it does that SomethingElseAlsoRises. However, this euphemistic meaning has become mostly forgotten over time, to the point where it can be used without a single raised eyebrow in children's programming (or, conversely, seen in ''pornographic'' movies, where the need for euphemism is lessened, to say the least).
12
13	According to some commentary on the topic (including several actresses from UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood), this trope was/is also intended as a means for starlets to [[LegFocus draw attention to their shapely legs]]. This is borne out by numerous posed "cheesecake" photographs from the 1930s through the '60s, in which the model strikes a Foot Popping-style pose without actually kissing anyone (generally she's the only one in the picture). Many hosiery (stockings and pantyhose) advertisements still also use the trope in this way, to showcase their wares by calling attention to the legs wearing them.
14
15	Often used as a {{Modeling Pose\|s}}.

24
25	[[folder:Advertising]]
26	* OlderThanTelevision: A magazine stocking advertisement from the 1920s features this trope, suggesting that it developed as soon as skirts became short enough to show off female legs.
27	* This trope used to show up frequently in pantyhose and stocking commercials (and some shoe commercials as well) in the 1960s and '70s. See the comments above regarding how this maneuver is intended to show off a woman's shapely legs, or, in this case, the product adorning said legs.
28	* In the '80s, commercials for Big Red chewing gum would occasionally show this trope, sometimes spoofed, sometimes played straight. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL5r_ybqos4 Example here.]]
29	[[/folder]]
30
31	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
32	* ''Manga/GunslingerGirl''
33	** A platonic version occurs when Jean Croce spontaneously hugs his female cyborg Rico. As he's usually rather harsh towards her, this trope is used to show how thrown off balance Rico is when he suddenly pulls her towards him.
34	** When Triela has her LoveEpiphany, she rushes to where Victor Hilshire is lying unconscious on the couch (after passing out when Triela had to do field surgery and SkipTheAnesthetic) and [[DudeShesLikeInAComa kisses him]]. Due to her shorter height, Triela has to kneel on the couch which causes her legs to do a foot pop.
35	* Done straight in chapter 22 of ''Manga/LittleHouseWithAnOrangeRoof'' [[spoiler:when Natsumi and Shoutarou embrace for the first time]].
36	* In ''Manga/{{Sachiare}}'', Sachiko is so short she often has to do this ''on a stool'' to kiss her husband. Unless he just picks her up, of course.
37	* The kiss between [[spoiler:Stefan Levin and Karen]] in ''Manga/CaptainTsubasa World Youth Cup'' has this, with the variation that [[KissingDiscretionShot only their feet are shown.]]
38	* Same thing with Ash and Serena at the end of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesXY'', although in this case she was raising her feet up a little because the escalator she was on was also pulling them apart.
39	* Kashiwagi appears to be doing this in chapter 98 of ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' when she gives her boyfriend a french kiss, but it's hard to tell due to the camera angle and she might simply be leaping into his arms. [[spoiler:Kaguya also does this during her and Shirogane's third kiss immediately after their RelationshipUpgrade.]]
40	[[/folder]]
41
42	[[folder:Comic Books]]
43	* As shown in the picture, ComicBook/BlackCanary and Franchise/{{Batman}} once indulged in this.
44	* Apollo of ''ComicBook/TheAuthority'' (a man married to Midnighter, another man, mind you) did the leg lift thing while [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v401/ravensilvers/5ea26e4a.jpg they kissed once.]] This notably inverts the OneHeadTaller rule as far as the two of them are concerned.
45	* Lois and Clark's kiss in issue 3 of ''ComicBook/AllStarSuperman'' provides a sterling example of how this trope can still be played straight.
46	** Lois in general [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/9a/b4/f4/9ab4f432f8de30378c36f7a8c8ae11a2.jpg tend to attract this trope,]] [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/37/cf/13/37cf1341e2f704c637a011f794c01dd3.jpg including in adaptations.]]
47	* In ''ComicBook/XMan'' comic from TheNineties, Nate Grey meets Threnody, a mutant who uses her semi-controllable [[NinetiesAntiHero life-consuming powers to commit mass euthanasia in order to keep them under control]] - and is partly drawn to Nate by his combination of immense power and his slowly dying under the strain of that power. After they "hit it off", he takes her on a flying ride and kisses her. She lifts her foot. ''While flying.''
48	* ''ComicBook/XMen'': When Scott and ComicBook/{{Jean\| Grey}} get married, we see [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ScottJeanWedding_6809.jpg Jean's foot popping as they kiss]] (which is shown on the cover, but merely implied in the comic, as we instead see a closeup of their kiss).
49	* [[GenderInvertedTrope Gender-inverted]] (and mostly off-frame) in ''ComicBook/{{Excalibur}}'', in [[http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/icon_uk/11800056/1345211/original.jpg a sequence]] (3rd panel in middle row) where newly arrived alien hottie Cerise decides to try out kissing with Nightcrawler.
50	* ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'': Wonder Girl does it the first time she and Superboy kiss. They're both in the air at the time.
51	* In the ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'' comic ''A King In Shreds And Patches'', Samus Aran of all people does this (while in full armor, even!) when a thirty-year-old Kevin from a Bad Future kisses her.
52	* ''ComicBook/RunawaysRainbowRowell'': Karolina does this while kissing Nico at the end of issue 18, after everyone survives the latest crisis.
53	[[/folder]]
54
55	[[folder:Fan Works]]
56	* ''Fanfic/EverydayCrazinessInPontypandy'': In "How Not to Camp", Svetlana pops a foot when she hugs Gabby.
57	* The last kiss in ''Fanfic/KyonBigDamnHero'', chapter 29.
58	* ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'': [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Katie Kaboom]] does this when she kisses Danny at the end of their date.
59	[[/folder]]
60
61	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
62	* Franchise/{{Barbie}} in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3''... and [[GenderFlip Ken]] in the follow-up short ''Hawaiian Vacation''.
63	* FemmeFatale Megara does this in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}''.
64	* Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle'', right before the title character leaves to go stop aliens from destroying the town; he grabs his friend Abby, the Ugly Duckling, delivers a rapid-fire confession of his love for her, and kisses her. Her foot pop is immediate and rather funny.
65	* ''WesternAnimation/FireAndIce1983'': At the end, when Larn and Teegra embrace, she pops a foot.
66	* Done by Leah at the end of ''Film/OsmosisJones'' when she kisses Ozzy. According to commentary, the animation was added in for laughs.
67	* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueXRWBYSuperHeroesAndHuntsmen'': At the end of Part 2, two of the characters kiss, resulting in one of them popping their foot. [[spoiler:Blake and Yang kiss at the end of the film, and Yang is the one who pops her foot. It's a CallBack to Volume 9 of the [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} main show]], where Blake is the one who pops her foot when they kiss.]]
68	* In ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunesRabbitsRun'', the trope is both PlayedStraight (by Lola Bunny, when she and WesternAnimation/BugsBunny do their FirstKiss) and PlayedForLaughs (when Bugs, posing as [[WholesomeCrossdresser a female flight attendant]], shows off his high heels).
69	* Helga in ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnoldTheJungleMovie'' when [[spoiler:Arnold finally reciprocates her affections openly and they share a long kiss]].
70	* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbTheMovieAcrossThe2ndDimension'': [[spoiler: Isabella when she finally kisses Phineas.]]
71	* Linguine from ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'' does this after being pushed into his kiss with Colette by Remy, making this an unusual male example.
72	* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', this is {{Exaggerated}}. In Mei's fantasy of how the 4*Town concert goes, she is proposed to by Robaire and goes not just on one foot but on her tiptoes.
73	[[/folder]]
74
75	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
76	* ''Film/TheBabysitter2017'': Done by Cole's 12-year old neighbor, Melanie, when she gives him AKissForLuck right before he leaves to confront Bee. The camera shifts to a close-up of Melanie's barefeet as she [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYgH-4NBhME pops the heel of her left foot]] during the kiss.
77	* Film/NationalLampoon's ''Film/LoadedWeapon1'' had a scene where both the man and the woman stick one foot in the air as they kiss. Then each puts the other foot in the air at the same time. They just sort of hover there.
78	* ''Film/ThePrincessDiaries'':
79	** In the first movie, protagonist Mia's life dream is to meet a guy, fall in love at first sight, and kiss him like this. She expressly specifies the foot pop. Subverted three times and then played straight.
80	*** First try: Daydream sequence, when Mia is kissing the boy and she can't pop her foot because it's cemented to the sidewalk by used gum.
81	*** Second try: Mia and boy are hiding in a shed. Kiss is attempted, foot gets caught in fishing net and she falls over.
82	*** Third try: Guy forces Mia into a kiss with paparazzi surrounding them. She starts to do this, then takes off her sandal and beats the guy over the head with it.
83	*** Fourth try: Mia is (finally) kissing the boy she likes outside, her foot pops properly. Her foot pops such that it turns on the fountains in the garden as well as all the lights, demonstrating that when one kisses the right person, foot pops go perfectly.
84	** Mia indulges in Foot Popping again in the second movie on two occasions:
85	*** First attempt: Mia gets smooched at a garden party and she does the foot pop.
86	*** Second attempt: Played straight. Mia encounters her true love (the same guy who kissed her earlier) and kisses him in front of the throne; she lifts her foot as the camera pulls back out of the room. Heck, she picks up ''both'' feet on the second one.
87	* Spoofed in ''Film/TheNakedGun'' when Frank Drebin and his LoveInterest do this at the same time.
88	* In the 1932 Creator/JeanHarlow film, ''Film/RedHeadedWoman'', the protagonist and her boyfriend go behind the cupboard in a bar, so we only see their feet. She lifts one of their legs, showing that they're kissing -- quite scandalous in a public place back then.
89	* ''Film/GoNakedInTheWorld'': Giulie pops her foot when she and Nick are passionately kissing—but she is also kicking a ringing phone off its cradle. (The phone is ringing because unbeknownst to Nick, Giulie is a HighClassCallGirl, and a customer wants her services.)
90	* This was subverted in ''Film/DateMovie''. Julia pops her foot while kissing Grant, and Grant pops his foot also -- the wrong way.
91	* Seen and played straight in ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'', when Ferris (Matthew Broderick) greets his girlfriend (Mia Sara).
92	* Also played straight in ''Film/WorkingGirl'' at a key romantic moment between Melanie Griffith and Harrison Ford's characters.
93	* Faye Dunaway's character does this briefly in ''{{Film/Network}}'' as part of a montage of stereotypically romantic scenes -- it's kind of played straight, but also satirical as she spends all of these scenes talking nonstop about work.
94	* ''Film/MeAndMyGal'': Helen and Danny kiss, and she is shown popping her foot--then the camera cuts to show Danny ''also'' popping his foot.
95	* In the Creator/DeanMartin[=/=]Creator/TonyCurtis[=/=]Creator/JanetLeigh movie ''Film/WhoWasThatLady'', the movie opens with a scene showing Leigh arriving at her husband's (Curtis) office and catching him in the act of kissing a foot-popping girl.
96	* Played straight by Creator/BrigitteBardot in ''Film/LaParisienne''.
97	** Also in ''Film/{{Contempt}}'', but she lifts it the other way.
98	* Martine Carol strikes a Foot Popping pose in her movie ''Nana'' during an onstage scene, though she doesn't actually kiss her male opposite number.
99	* Done in ''Film/SoIMarriedAnAxeMurderer'' by Mike Myers' character, kissing his bride at the altar, dressed in a kilt.
100	* ''Film/ScoobyDooCurseOfTheLakeMonster'' has one between [[spoiler:Shaggy and Velma]] played entirely straight.
101	* ''Film/SomeLikeItHot'': when [[Creator/MarilynMonroe "Sugar" Kane]] kisses Joe as he's lounging on a couch, [[SomethingElseAlsoRises one leg stands up straight in the air behind her back]].
102	* ''Film/InAndOut'' contains a male-on-male example, when openly-gay Peter cuts off inadvertently-outed Howard's [[NotThatTheresAnythingWrongWithThat "you've got the wrong man"]] protests [[ShutUpKiss with his lips]], giving the audience its first solid indicator that, no, in fact, he doesn't.
103	* ''Film/TheProfessional''. When Léon rescues Mathilda from corrupt cops at the DEA office, she throws herself into his arms; naturally as she's only a little girl the subsequent Foot Popping closeup shows her feet hanging a foot above the floor.
104	* The last kiss in ''Film/OSS117LostInRio''.
105	* Something similar to this happens in the 1996 film ''Film/{{Michael}}'', during Archangel Michael's (John Travolta) dance with hippie waitress Anita (Creator/JoeyLaurenAdams). After catching Anita in a hug and lifting her up before playfully spinning her around, Anita's shows her enjoyment by her big grin and also by both of her legs doing some foot popping (although this differs from normal as neither of her feet are touching the ground).
106	* In ''Film/TheFamilyWay'' we can only guess what's going on by the heroine's foot popping, as the camera focuses on the feet.
107	* In ''Film/LaLaLand'''s DreamBallet, Mia does this as she and Sebastian share a kiss, after she passes an audition for a movie filming in Paris.
108	* In Creator/{{Netflix}}'s ''Film/RimOfTheWorld'' Alex, the 13 year old hero, get's his first kiss and his foot pops.
109	* ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0SnsP8YEN8 has a case]] with the man's foot lifting, showing Darcy was ''very'' grateful about being rescued.
110	* ''Film/{{Clue}}'' has Miss Scarlet do this as a form of HitchhikersLeg when her car's broken down on the way to the mansion.
111	[[/folder]]
112
113	[[folder:Literature]]
114	* In the photo-novelization of the 1980 Music/VillagePeople movie ''Film/CantStopTheMusic'', there is a picture of Valerie Perrine Foot Popping while she kisses Bruce Jenner. In the actual movie, Perrine and Jenner are shown only from the waist up.
115	* In a ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' novel of the long-running "Weatherlight Saga", the ''Weatherlight'' crew is fighting a group of {{Mooks}}. One of them tries to get a jump on [[WrenchWench Hanna]] from behind. She turns her head, kisses him and does a foot pop. The mook goes down [[GroinAttack clutching himself.]]
116	[[/folder]]
117
118	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
119	* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'':
120	** In "[[FilmNoir Noir]]", an AlternateUniverse ComicBook/LoisLane does this when kissing ComicBook/LexLuthor.
121	** She does this again -- with a lot of foot focus -- when kissing Clark in "Idol".
122	* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' did a gag in which J.D. and Kim both lift their legs while kissing.

126	** In one episode, the boys watch a kissing scene involving an actress with whom they [[BachelorAuction might have a chance to win a date]] and discuss how much they'd like to raise that foot up.
127	** In another episode, Potsie observes Fonzie kissing a Foot Popping girl and comments that Foot Popping is a signal that the girl is "worldly".
128	* In the episode of ''Series/LivingSingle'' where Overton and Sinclaire finally Spit It Out, they ''both'' pop their feet when they finally kiss.
129	* Sarah does this in the "Something Ida This Way Comes" episode of ''Series/BrothersAndSisters''.
130	* ''Series/MorkAndMindy'': Mork does this while kissing Mindy in the episode "Mork the Prankster".
131	* In the movie version of ''Series/TheManFromUNCLE'' episode "The Double Affair", ''The Spy with My Face'', Senta Berger disrobes, enters a shower and kisses Robert Vaughn. Only their legs are seen, and hers take a sort of Foot Popping pose (actually, more like her bare foot caressing Vaughn's bare legs) accompanied by suggestive dialogue.
132	* ''Amor e Revolução'' (translation: ''Love and Revolution'') had this occur during the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxdO_NDm5MQ first lesbian kiss in a Brazilian soap opera.]]
133	* ''Series/Tracker2001'': After Daggon/Cole rescued Tina - a homeless teenager who ran away from her mum - from a pair of alien fugitives, he later reunites her with her father. Tina is shown briefly doing a foot pop as she and her Dad hug each other.
134	* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E5TimeHeist Time Heist]]", the Doctor is so pleased with himself for exhausting Clara right before her dinner with Danny Pink ("Robbing a whole bank. Beat ''that'' for a date!") that he does this in the last shot.
135	* ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise''. T'Pol does this while sharing a ShowerOfLove with Trip Tucker.
136	* On ''Series/MyNameIsEarl'', Billie does this in Earl's [[HappyPlace coma fantasy]], where the two of them are protagonists in a DomCom.
137	* In ''Series/JaneTheVirgin'', Jane does this when kissing Rafael for the first (or, technically, second) time.
138	[[/folder]]
139
140	[[folder:Music]]
141	* The cover of the old Carmen Cavallaro record, ''For Latin Lovers'', shows this trope.
142	* The cover of the 2007 compilation album, ''The Departure Lounge: Love'' also shows this trope.
143	* In the video for Eddie Money's early-1980s song "Shakin'", the Latina beauty driving the blue "lowrider" strikes a Foot Popping pose as she kisses the hood of her car after winning a street race.
144	* The music video for Josh Turner's "Your Man" plays this trope straight as his lover lifts her foot while kissing in an elevator.
145	* Music/TaylorSwift does this near the beginning of the "Wildest Dreams" music video.
146	* At the end of the music video for the {{Music/Coldplay}} song "Strawberry Swing," there is a rare example of both the man and the woman doing this. After Chris, dressed as a superhero, saves a princess from a giant, evil squirrel, they kiss, and both lift their foots.
147	[[/folder]]
148
149	[[folder:Theater]]
150	* Not kissing anyone but The Usherette does the pose before walking offstage at the end of "Science Fiction Double Feature" at the end of ''[[Theatre/TheRockyHorrorShow Rocky Horror Show Live]]''.
151	[[/folder]]
152
153	[[folder:Video Games]]
154	* In ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}'', once a certain level of suavity is achieved, the protagonist can kiss girls [[IntimateHealing For Health(tm)]] and there will be foot-popping involved. Of course, then the leg-pop progresses to more intense making out, so it's not so much a "cute" move.
155	* In the video game ''VideoGame/{{GoldenEye\|1997}}'' on N64, the ending has Film/JamesBond and Natalya kissing, and she does this. It's sort of distracting because the whole credits sequence is [[OrbitalKiss just orbiting around them]] [[OverlyLongGag for several minutes]].
156	* Sophia does this in one ending of Creator/LucasArts adventure game ''VideoGame/IndianaJonesAndTheFateOfAtlantis'' while she and Indy kiss on the submarine after having watched the volcano sink into the sea. Probably a throwback to the Hays Code-era adventure serials that inspired it.
157	* In ''VideoGame/LoveAndPies'': Amelia raises one of her feet when she kisses Joe during their date night after her [[spoiler:sisterly bonding with Edwina.]]
158	* In ''Franchise/MortalKombat'', Kitana raises one of her feet while delivering her KissOfDeath Fatality.
159	* In ''VideoGame/Runaway2TheDreamOfTheTurtle'', when Lokelani kisses Brian, she raises her right leg.
160	* In the [[VideoGame/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorldTheGame game adaptation]] of ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'', Knives does this whenever she kisses Kim (once again, [[IntimateHealing For Health(tm)]]).
161	* The ''VideoGame/TheSims2'' expansion pack, ''Apartment Life'', includes a kiss called "Suck Face"; the receiver's foot pops if the interaction succeeds (regardless of the gender of said Sim).
162	* ''VideoGame/StardewValley'': Abigail’s sprite when you’re married to her and kiss her does this.
163	[[/folder]]
164
165	[[folder:Webcomics]]
166	* ''Webcomic/TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'' strip [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/02/17/burning-love/ "BURNING Love"]].
167	* In ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'', [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2100/fc02041.htm this pose is avoided]] since the kiss in question is between a human and an [[UpliftedAnimal uplifted wolf]].
168	-->'''Florence:''' When a dog lifts its leg, the image that comes to most people's minds isn't associated with romance.
169	* Webcomic/KarateBears do a [[http://www.karatebears.com/2011/06/kiss-and-tell.html double foot pop!]]
170	* Bill Holbrook, creator of ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'', seems to be a fan of these, possibly because his anthropomorphic characters [[BarefootCartoonAnimal don't wear shoes]], creating a unique foot focus. Usually it's the title character of Kell who ends up [[http://www.kevinandkell.com/2006/kk1022.html doing it]], but there's also [[http://www.kevinandkell.com/1999/kk1206.html a notable one]] when Coney kisses Nigel just before the two [[ItMakesSenseInContext use a time machine to return themselves back to their usual toddler forms.]]
171	* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' has one with [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120716 the conclusion of a big hero moment]].
172	* ''Webcomic/BladeBunny'' does this with [[http://www.bladebunny.com/2012/08/01/webcomic-challenge-success/ a pin-up bonus]].
173	* In [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/2012/12/25/is-you/ a strip]] from ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'', it's [[spoiler:King's]] foot that lifts when he goes to kiss [[spoiler:Bailey]], instead of the usual male/female roles.
174	* Done twice by [[BigBad Zenith]] in ''Webcomic/CommanderKitty''. First when [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2011/06/26/bedside-manners/ hugging her newly made abomination of a boyfriend]], even [[BarefootCartoonAnimal spreading out her toes on her raised foot]] for emphasis. After a [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn]], she later does it again while showing off [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2012/08/15/nin-wahs-agenda/ a new outfit she just made]].
175	* ''Webcomic/PepsiaPhobia'': Phobia does it while kissing Klepto in a panel explaining the [[http://www.gastrophobia.com/index.php?date=2013-10-16 "four kinds of love"]] in UsefulNotes/AncientGreece.
176	[[/folder]]
177
178	[[folder:Web Original]]
179	* [[GenderInvertedTrope Gender-inverted]] in the ''WebVideo/KateModern'' episode "The Hen Night", when Lee kisses Sophie. He is in drag at the time, though (because he's attending a hen night, so obviously he had to dress as a woman... well, ItMakesSenseInContext).
180	* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
181	** When Jaune gets kissed in Volume 3, the lady concerned pops her foot while kissing him. [[spoiler:Pyrrha kisses him to say goodbye and distract him long enough to trap him into a locker so that he can't follow her to fight TheHeavy; as she knows she's entering a fight she cannot win, she doesn't want Jaune dying with her.]]
182	** While in TheWonderland in Volume 9, two characters kissing involve one character popping her foot while flowers bloom all around them. [[spoiler:The EmpathicEnvironment forces Blake and Yang to confront their feelings, resulting in Blake being the one to pop her foot when they kiss.]]
183

186	[[folder:Western Animation]]
187	* In the final episode of ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'', the titular character kisses Princess Sally, whose foot "pops" off the ground.
188	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':
189	** At the end of the episode "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back", his wife does this as he kisses her. The Obstructive Bureaucrat does this earlier in the episode while kissing Fry.
190	** In the episode "When Aliens Attack", the title character does it in the fictional show ''Single Female Lawyer''.
191	** In the episode "Leela and the Genestalk", when Fry reassures Leela he still loves her even if she's become [[BodyHorror a writhing mass of tentacles]], he kisses her and she pops about six tentacles.
192	* ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'': Blackarachnia does this when she kisses her Maximal Boyfriend Silverbolt in "The Agenda." The immediate cut away, and Silverbolt's reaction to a remark by a suspicious Rattrap later on, suggests it didn't stop there.
193	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
194	** Homer Simpson has done this a few times while kissing Marge. It was even lampshaded once, when Marge became a cop. He popped said foot right after Marge assured him that he was the man of the house, wearing the pants in the relationship ([[{{Metaphorgotten}} even if, under those pants, he wore ladies underwear]]).
195	** In "Lisa's Wedding", college-aged Lisa gets engaged with her charming English boyfriend Hugh from university. She pops her leg when Hugh and she passionately kiss after she says yes to his proposal.
196	* Done by Sam in the last episode of ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' when Danny finally kisses her.
197	* This happens in ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' during Bob and Dot's first and only kiss [[spoiler:(unless you count Dot kissing the fake Bob several times over the course of the ''My Two Bobs'' movie)]].
